I am pleased to have been involved in the establishment of the Center for the Study of Equality and Human Rights, housed in the Communication, Theatre and Media Arts Department at Eastern Michigan University. The Center was created by a wonderful gift from Dr. Timothy J. Dyer, a former Regent of Eastern Michigan University. The Center is directed by Dr. Dennis Patrick, a faculty member in the CMTA Department. Dr. Dyer's generous gift to EMU created the Dr. Timothy J. Dyer Distinguished Interdisciplinary Chair in Forensics/Debate and Human Rights.
The mission of the Center for the Study of Equality and Human Rights is "to advance and promote research on equality and human rights, with a primary focus on eliminating homophobia in our society. The Center supports faculty and student research on bias, bigotry, and heterosexism in the United States and is intended to one day be the regional hub for LGBT research."
